Museum of local history and culture “Schwarzes Tor” in St. Georgen

The history of this farmhouse dates back to 1664. It is located in the town center and was destroyed by a fire in 1802 and rebuilt in 1803. At the beginning of the nineties it was restored with great engagement and became the local museum of history and culture. It illustrates the homes, the life and the work of the Black Forest people in former days.

Phonographic Museum in St. Georgen

A unique museum of its king in Germany, which is situated in the town hall of St. Georgen since its opening in 1972. The phonographic exhibits illustrate the historical development of phonographic technology, including its many curiosities in a nearly complete order. The collection begins with a phonograph invented by Thomas Alva Edison in 1877. 10 years later the gramophone was invented by Emil Berliner launching a 100-year lasting success of the phonographic record.

Kobisen Mill in St. Georgen

The restored farm mill of the Kobisenhof, located in the Hippengehr in Oberkirnach, dates back to the 15th century and has been classified as a historical monument. The farm mill gives a very realistic insight into the functioning of a Black Forest mill with two millworks.
